[Reaction of the rabbit brain to locally applied deep temperature (light- and electronmicroscopy findings)]

Investigations by light and electron microscopy showed more details of potential patterns of injuring after application of low temperatures to rabbit brain. The authors were actually concerned to transforming the intensity of cooling into exact and reproducible degrees of necrosis. According to these experimental results, the application of cryotechnique to human central nervous tissue is just permitted on special premises (size of probe, low-level of temperature, and period of application).
